South Western Railway said on its website: "We strongly advise you to check your individual journey before you travel whilst we recover the train service as some stations will still not have a train service.

"We advise that you do not travel unless necessary on the Hounslow loop as services will be sparse.

"A fault with this system means we are unable to communicate to train drivers that a section of track is safe to proceed onto.

"We are sorry for the disruption caused to your journey."

Passengers are also advised of a suspended service on the District line between Wimbledon and Earls Court due to a signal failure at Parsons Green.
